Family Navarre Beach Vacation: Mary Ann and the gang :-) August 29, 2008

I met up with Mary Ann and the gang today for some family beach portraits in Navarre Florida. This family is just super nice, sweet, and full of life, even when dad is grumpy in the sand…lol I know many of you will remember sweet Kaitlyn when she was only a couple of months old…

Well, her grandma was coming to Navarre for some R & R and decided to get some family portraits done :)

YES... It was an overcast and rainy day .. but we made it work !

ooohh ... How I LOVE her smile ... beautiful !

Little Miss Kaitlyn - all grown up ;-)

This lil guy knows how to turn on a smile :) Such a cutie !

She loves her grandpa... and thanks to my "assistant" for getting a GREAT image :) I love it !!!!!

family…pensacola beach…. fun…. August 18, 2008

As promised here are the rest of my favorites from this sitting :) These kiddos are super sweet…

Mary Beth is a High School Musical fan – and I mean BIG FAN ! She is super at ease in front of the camera – and her poses are so cute :) Matthew is a little backwards… he is such a doll !!! If you want him to look at you you have to tell him “Don’t look at her”…lol I was so confused but mom and dad have it down to an exact science :) He is a total boy ! These guys dressed so nice – check out both of the guys… same old navy shorts :) and mom and daughter are wearing super cute summer beach dresses:) I hope you guys enjoy your portraits – I had a fun time hanging out with you … see you next year :) Jen Barefootsnapshots.com

Enough of those portraits… now it is time for some FUN :)

family: Val and family – vacation in Perdido Key- part 2 August 11, 2008

OK…. here are the rest of my favorites from Val and family ;-)

We will start with the heart of the family :) Ron and Vida… Vida is the most fun and energetic person I have been around in quite some time – She is full of life ! The love Ron and Vida have for each other is genuine – and very easy to see !

Bryan and Cally have 3 of the most precious kids :) They are super sweet ! Peyton and Caroline are so good with little borther Beau.

Val and her two Van’s :) Little Van is SO CUTE :) It took a while for him to warm up… but who wouldn’t be grumpy at 7am during their beach vacation ? lol I absoultely LOVE this pic ! Val’s smile ROCKS, and I love how little Van is just “chillin” in dads arms.

Now we are having FUN… It is always the simple things that make little ones HAPPY :)

I LOVE this pic of Caroline – She looks like an Angel :)

Val bought all the kiddos these super cool pails with their names on them… and of course I got a super cool shot of them too…lol

2 year olds are unpredictable – IF they are happy without the pants – then by all means DITCH the pants…lol Who needs pants when you are as cute as Little Van?

I LOVE how mom and dad are framing Beau in this one…..

Tickle.. Tickle… that always works ! Good thinking Val :)

It is always super cool when the bird is actually low enough to get in the pic :) WOOHOO !!!

Now look close at Peyton… In the 1st pic all the kiddos are looking at mom and dad to see what they are doing, and in the 2nd pic Peyton is apparently happy to see it happen :)

You guys were the best – what could be more fun than 2 – 2yr olds, 7am, BRIGHT sun, and no breakfast yet ? You guys wre troopers, as a photographer I always want the conditins to be PERFECT… but in reality they rarely EVER are ! Some times are better than others but you handle things are they come. No the conditions were not PERFECT by any means… but guess what – Love does not follow perfections in the world… Love is what happens naturally – and your portraits show that ! I wish all of the the very best that LOVE has to offer :) I hope to see you again next year on Pensacola Beach for some ICE CREAM SHOPPE pics :)

Enjoy… Jen Barefootsnapshots.com
